Thread Graffiti is all moved into the NEW studio!!

Hey Quilty Friends, it's been a busy couple months, and I have not had much time to share my journey, so lets catch up!! Sew.... we bought a new home just North of Austin Texas, in beautiful Lago Vista, we are just a short walk from our own private park on Lake Travis and we are officially done with moving boxes. We closed on our home March 1st, and for the next several weeks we had the home builder send out his crews to customize my new sewing space. We had some bumps, as many construction projects do, but we made it through them, and I am officially sewing and taking new orders! My studio is filled with IKEA furniture, and lots of natural sunlight! My hubby hung curtains, and peg board & dry erase boards, my son helped me put together endless shelves to store my fabric, and I painted cabinets! It was a team effort for a few weeks, and gosh my back hurt and my head throbbed, but it's DONE. The batting has been delivered, and new clients have already stopped by to drop off beautiful projects. I even had friends from Montana stop by :) I got to do some super secret sewing for The Fat Quarter Shop, and well, lets just say, some Lori Holt creations may or may not have been in my room. There are so many projects I can't share yet, but I have a few that you might like to see. Wanna see my room?

Ok, so I still need to hang some new fun things on my walls and add a few personal touches, but the big stuff is done! You wanna see the down and dirty ones from the messy part, well sure you do!! Oh gosh y'all, it was a such a mess! LOL

So I decided we should celebrate the new room, and give YOU some freebies!! That means, I will be offering one FREE pantograph for the first quilt you send to me for long arm service. So if you have seen some really awesome pantos out there lately, you just tell me what you'd like, and I will do my best to get the panto for you, then we can finish your quilt together! You still have to pay for the long arm service of course, but you get to pick the edge to edge design from Urban Elements!!So click those green letters you just passed up, pick out your favorite panto, let me know when you ship me your quilt, and lets have some fun!!

Oh wait... I almost forgot. Now that the cat is out of the bag and you already saw my Lori Holt Farm Girl 2 Sampler pictures, I can totally encourage you to go buy the book. This quilt is soooo fabulous! I mean really fun, and you totally need to add it to your list!! Here's the link, just in case you'd like to check it out....Lori Holt Farm Girl Vintage 2 Quilt Kit

Thanks for checking out my new sewing room, feel free to stop by if you are in the area, just text me and let me know first, so we can make sure I'm not sewing in my pj's (it happens LOL) Or, if you are not in the area, I would love for you to mail your quilts and trust me with your creations!

Hey y'all,I'm Gina Tell

Thanks for checking in with my blog. ​I started quilting around 2003 when I first moved to Austin Texas, and I knew absolutely nothing about a sewing machine! My journey started with a lot of phone calls to my BFF Jody, in Washington, because social media didn't really exist at that time. I will be telling some of the ridiculous stories of my early sewing days, some handy sewing tips, and sharing some of the fun sewing projects I do for the Fat Quarter Shop!
